Wing Chun - an overview of its training methods and effectiveness.

[Thai Bri]

Hot Sauce - don't take my word for it. Go to a grapplers gym, and ask to train with a student with only 6 months experience. Explain that you want to use strikes in any sparring. Then see what happenes.

If it was that easy, the Gracie's wouldn't have revolutionised full contact martial arts competition. They met any striking champion and went through them all like a knife through butter. Don't you think these high ranking Kung Fu nad Karate people realised they could use strikes on the floor?

Wake up, you idiot.

I rest my case.

One can only hope.

[Hot Sauce]

Good luck with option #2!

I rest my case.

[jubaji]

Someone please do.

You haven't tried to explain anything to me, only one liners with nothing to back it up. But I'll thank for writing the replies.

There are two ways to help you see the point here. Someone with more patience than I could continue trying to explain things to you, or you could go out and get your ass kicked and experience a revelation. I suggest you seek the former before you run into the latter.

??????????????????????????????????

That's exactly what it means!

A punch to the head doesn't work against grapplers then?
You are saying that if I don't train kicks I can't defend against them. I diagree, although it's better to train it too but not neccesary. Real world and training is not the same thing. Also if a BJJ fighter doesn't train WC then he can't defend against WC stuff. Sounds totally unlogical.

[jubaji]

True, but it doesn't mean that the training against grappling without using grappling doesn't work.

'Cause you won't learn to effectively handle grapplin' without actually grapplin'. Anyone who says different is fooling you, himself, or both.

Howcome?

Do you train WT?

?

No. I've known a bunch of people who train wt, but I've never taken the plunge. Maybe someday.

[Hot Sauce]

But you don't know about trapping. Curious.

mm okay I've read the article again and it says that trapping isn't used in WT. I have never heard any of the 5+ instructors that are currently teaching at the WT club where I train mentioned trapping. Maybe I haven't got to that program where trapping is a part of the drill? When I think of trapping, Jeet Kune Do comes to my mind.

Do you train WT?

Recipe for an ass-whoopin

Howcome?

[jubaji]

Recipe for an ass-whoopin':

But we don't train grappling, we train against it, anti-grappling or whatever they are calling it.

[jubaji]

Yes, thanks for asking.

But you don't know about trapping. Curious.

[Hot Sauce]

Are you sure you are enrolled in a WT school?

Yes, thanks for asking.
